Proverbs 11:3

Proverbs 11_3.jpg

The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.  - Proverbs 11:3

Dear heavenly Father,

So often I am tempted to think that my life is guided by opportunities and my ingenuity at seizing them.  But when I think this way I lose a grip on maintaining my character and often become manipulative in my thoughts and approach.  Help me to remember that my integrity formed around your truth and love are the proper guide in every situation.  I want to be an upright person in all areas of my life instead of simply trying to get ahead of everyone else.  Help me to be honest, humble, loving and generous in every situation and toward every person. 

Amen

Integrity makes us a whole person even when troubles threaten to break us.
